Advices on Coolermaster Aquagate Mini R120

[chennhui]

Hi I am looking a better CPU cooling for my setup. DangerDen is great, however, with a limited budget, I can't affort it now.

 

I have three option

 

1) Coolermaster Aquagate Mini R120

2) Thermaright XP-120.

3) Keep the stock HSF, save the money for DangerDen (This will probably take months or year. FYI, my CPU's temperature during Prime95 could reach up to 60c, gaming around 50C).

 

I actually like the Coolermaster Aquagate Mini R120, which cost around US$110 and available at local store. Review here:-

Anybody know whether Coolermaster Aquagate Mini R120 will fit in DFI nF4??

 

Thanks for your input.

 

Edited: Keep the AMD HSF. Decrease CPU clock to 267x9, 50c under Prime95 torture, I think should be pretty healthy kind of temperature.

If you're in a hurry to o/c, go with the Thermalright as a temporary solution. If you don't want to o/c right away, stay with stock for now.

From that watercooler review, I wouldn't bother with it at all. The XP120 will give you much better cooling. Their review shows 52 degrees at load with 1.6V on a winnie. That's not very impressive for watercooling, and most people with the XP120 (and even 90) rarely report going over 45 degrees.

Wait for the money for the DD setup.

Thanks. After looking few others review, the Aquagate has found to be less useful.
